Wikipedia

Wikipedia is one of the largest repositories of freely available knowledge.

The tendency in Wikipedia is to prefer secondary sources to avoid bias from subjects closely affiliated with source(s). Thus, Wikipedia is generally not optimized for using primary sources.

Furthermore, conflict of interest (a legal jargon), prevents many world experts from contributing directly to Wikipedia. Consequently, information is sourced mainly from secondary sources and the purely ascetic labor of Wikipedians uploading data.
